We invite you to submit your research papers to the Workshop on Algorithmic Fairness through the Lens of Time, to be held as part of the Neurips 2023 conference. This workshop aims to provide a platform for researchers, practitioners, and experts to delve into the intricate landscape of fairness in algorithmic systems that operate within dynamic environments. We aim to spark discussions on how a long-term perspective can help build more trustworthy algorithms in the era of expressive generative models.

Workshop Scope and Objectives:
Workshop Scope and Objectives:
In recent years, fairness in algorithmic decision-making has gained significant attention. However, the majority of existing fairness definitions and methods are rooted in static assumptions about data generation processes. The goal of this year's workshop is to challenge these assumptions and initiate conversations that explore the dynamic nature of algorithmic fairness. We aim to stimulate discussions that focus on the following key objectives:
In recent years, fairness in algorithmic decision-making has gained significant attention. However, the majority of existing fairness definitions and methods are rooted in static assumptions about data generation processes. The goal of this year's workshop is to challenge these assumptions and initiate conversations that explore the dynamic nature of algorithmic fairness. We aim to stimulate discussions that focus on the following key objectives:
● Foundational Fairness Work: Encourage the presentation and discussion of foundational research that reevaluates conventional fairness definitions and paradigms, such as group fairness, individual fairness, and causal fairness.
● Foundational Fairness Work: Encourage the presentation and discussion of foundational research that reevaluates conventional fairness definitions and paradigms, such as group fairness, individual fairness, and causal fairness.
● Long-Term Fairness Effects: Investigate the far-reaching consequences of fairness methods in dynamic scenarios. We encourage studies that analyze how fairness interventions impact individuals and groups over extended periods.
● Long-Term Fairness Effects: Investigate the far-reaching consequences of fairness methods in dynamic scenarios. We encourage studies that analyze how fairness interventions impact individuals and groups over extended periods.
● Integration with Generative Models: Explore the integration of fairness frameworks with the development and proliferation of large generative models. This involves a critical examination of how these models can maintain fairness while producing diverse and high-quality outcomes.

● Dynamic Interplay: Address the dynamic interplay between algorithmic decisions and the individuals they affect. Real-world instances have demonstrated that fairness is not a one-time concern but evolves over time, necessitating the exploration of fairness dynamics.

● Practical Implications: Foster discussions on the practical implications of incorporating dynamic fairness systems into real-world applications. We encourage research that bridges the gap between theoretical advancements and their implementation in operational settings.

Submissions to the Paper track should describe new projects aimed at challenging static definitions of fairness, discussing long-term fairness effects and integration with generative models. Submissions should have theoretical or empirical results demonstrating the approach, and specifying how the project fills a gap in the current literature. Authors of accepted papers will be required to upload a 10-min video presentation of their paper. All recorded talks will be made available on the workshop website.
